Rejecting Lae'zel: yeah sorry not interested in you tasting my flesh lol- yeah you can go fuck astarion instead i don't care Rejecting Astarion: Say please.... ha, yeah, it's still a no, but that was funny, anyway... Rejecting Shadowheart: *didn't even realize i did it* Rejecting Gale, Wyll, or Karlach: Oh god, oh god, oh no I'm so so so so so so sorry, I, I really hope I didn't like lead you on- please don't look at me with those eyes, please, oh no, I'm so sorry I'm just doing a different romance right now, I still care about you so so so so so so so much, I'm sorry I'm just a terrible person, I'll be flaying myself alive tonight in penance, I'm so sorry-
#baldurs gate 3#bg3#gale dekarios#karlach cliffgate#wyll ravengard#to be clear this is not any hate to the other three this is just genuinely my experience each time#probably just because laezel and astarion start off approaching it as just sex so i don't feel bad just being like no i don't wanna fuck lo#and shadowheart unless you have the wine night with her at the party genuinely just does no come across as trying to romance you imo#i did feel bad the one time i did wine night with her and then did reject her after#i literally have the game paused rn to avoid rejecting karlach for a few more minutes#also this is probably a little disingenuous because i've never rejected gale i always romance him BUT STILL

I like how Jessica Preddy says Rose is not in love or infatuated with Alan, but it’s her third job, her life calling. the unstoppable President of the Alan Wake fan club, genuinely Alan’s strongest soldier. (Source: Remedy YouTube)
#alan wake 2#rose marigold#rose… ily…#ALSO I like Preddy talking about Rose mirroring characters from TV#she’s not being disingenuous but it’s how she understands humans are#but it’s also how she becomes so invested in alan wake and his writing#that’s just How things are and with fiction affecting reality it all becomes blurred#I do feel validated that it’s outright said that she isn’t in love with alan. which is already what i got from the games but nice to hear#esp with that page in aw1 about her wanting to be friends with Alan and Alice#it’s a fantasy and she’s not trying to replace Alice (even if she’s SO focused on Alan that she tends to ignore others/be insensitive)#i think it’s a little easy to assume rose would be in love with alan because I Do think Cynthia was in love with Zane#so it’s a nice contrast

i think i should draw ragatha ocd more actually
#and pomni ocd but rn im thinking about moral ocd#which i dont think is a big theme for pomni#pointing at ragatha. you.#im extremely tired i stayed up way later than intended doing compulsions for 1-2 hrs wo realizing until after#so i should make it her problem again.....#ragatha ocd wont happen tonight if i get any ideas thouhhh im tired#which i say that a lot but im disoriented levels of tired rn so definitely nothing happening#gonna watch silly videos on yt or smth then fall asleep and think abt this in more detaail in the morning...#ok actually thinking and i think these two could have fascinating conversations around these things bc their themes are so different#both engage in compulsory behavior but for different reasons so it still confuses the other#even though they sorta? understand and comprehend the thought process and dont think too much of it...#maybe itd be good for them to talk about these things honestly#tbqh i started feeling a little guilty abt posting ragatha ocd stuff bc i was like ohhhh am i doing it cus it got notes so its disingenuous#and evil actually and i should STOP drawing it because you are trying to MANUFACTURE SUCCESS and thats EVIL#(despite it being smth i genuinely enjoy depicting bc its deeply cathartic#and also on some level i like the idea of depicting ocd in a way i dont see it depicted often...#AND i very genuinely think it fits ragatha)#which honestly its a really funny reason to start getting nervous about depicting characters having ocd#given uh. well. gestures LMAOOOO#ok goodnight. unless im lying and post again. but for now goodnight

Some people genuinely suck as human beings that you can’t even keep your bullying private
#all have been blocked#im pretty sure i wasnt even who they were bullying but just 👏👏👏 beautiful display of toxicity right there#i love greek mythology but i am keeping to my little bubble of followers#because it feels so disingenuous trying to understand another persons POV if that same person is just making fun of you#jeez

i need to go pound joey drew into a pulp RIGHT NOW
#diction dump#joey drew#batim#HIS SPEECH AT TBE END OF BATDR MAKES ME JDLABRLELWL#SCREAMINF AT TVE SCREEN#JUST SHUT!! UPP!!!#okay i’m normal now. i hate him so much#he praises audrey about being his first creation of life when the ink demon is literally RIGHT THERE.#like. do you want to be good or not?? of course bendy kills you! you’re being an asshole! you suck!!#oh my godd i need to fling him around a room ragdoll style. crush him into smithereens. rrrgrghh#he comes across so disingenuous.. like. i don’t care if audrey’s your precious shining moonlight. she’s also The One Who Came Out Right.#meanwhile The One Who Came Out Wrong is SEETHING with hatred for you! do you not see the consequences of your words?!#“i know you’re in there” like the ink demon isn’t sentient?? like audrey’s just stuck someWHERE not with someONE?#and bendy’s so so angry. of course he is! his creator (well. a copy of him) is saying TO HIS FACE that he’s just a monster. a mistake.#that he’s NOTHING. and most infuriatingly that this stupid OTHER who had the privilege of coming out right is EVERYTHING!#why does she get that? why did she get so lucky? where was all this compassion when it was him? why did he never feel this love?#and so he lashes out. obviously. all he’s ever been is a monster because all he’s ever been TAUGHT is how to be a monster#and who taught him that? who forced him into that? that’s right. the biggest monster around.#so i’m sorry if i don’t find your little speech to be heartfelt joey. you’re a long way away from saying anything truly GOOD.#phew. okay. needed to get that off my chest.

Normally I don't like calling out specific names when it's a large number of people doing stupid shit but holy fucking shit I actually need Limus to log off and never breathe a word about anything Hazbin related ever again
#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel valentino#it would be medicine to mine and perhaps even her miserable soul#if they didn't already make things worse for survivors that are hazbin fans before they seem really fucking determined to do it now jfc#“i take issue with viv saying that people who like val are valid--” then don't fucking like him stop playing the moral highground oh my god#they will do anything to push this “fiction=reality” bullshit and other already vulnerable people they don't deem valid i hate them so much#i'd feel bad about this if they weren't a hypocritical little piece of snot but reality is often disappointing ughhh#mute and move on is my next move here they're not ruining my bluesky experience with their disingenuous bullshit#i just needed to get this outta my system cuz man whatever scraps of empathy i tried to muster for them is eroding so fast ngl#of course they'd have an opinion on the val merch and spin this into something worse get in there while it's hot i guess. i need a break#momento rambles

So the one reason to go to Arkansas is to drive through a town named "Flippin," where everything sounds like a euphemism. Flippin Fire Dept. Flippin School. Flippin Police. Etc.
While that does sound charming, I don't know that justifies a trip to Arkansas
#when I was considering moving to georgia#a place I had not been yet#I was at this hole in the wall thai restaurant with a friend#and the tables were soooo close together#and there was a couple next to us#and the one boyfriend was just like hissing that he was NOT going to move to Arkansas#he didn't care HOW good his bf's job offer was#he was NOT GOING#he could get a job ANYWHERE ELSE#and while GA is not quite on the same level as Arkansas I was like gosh that is what i'm feeling right now#it's soooo far south#anyway I did move to GA and it was fine#although that feels disingenuous#I very rarely left the city and in the city I very rarely met anyone who was actually FROM GA#this one time I stopped for gas in what is apparently a small shitty town#and I'm white but apparently I was OBVIOUSLY not from around there#because there were like five old men sitting at the bar of the little gas station restaurant#who stopped talking when I walked in and just... watched me#as I bought a snack for the road and asked where the bathroom was#just silently disapprovingly watching this outsider... utilize a gas station#the girl working the register seemed apologetic#when i went back out to my car I could see all them watching me from the window#so I do think there are parts of GA that straight up suck#and had I been a different race I think my safety would have been in question that day#but Atlanta was fine for the most part#weirdly full of people from Chicago

#my mom is like 'well would you have taken if if you'd known' well obviously not!!#I'm upset I'm not getting enough sleep and that I was lied to#and shes like 'well they want tenants' I AM AWARE. CAN YOU TRY TO BE A LITTLE SYMPATHETIC#for once in your life...#she's so discouraging and unhelpful#that when she does support me it feels disingenuous#cor.txt

I had to skip therapy this week and I’m handling it really well. I’m definitely not filled with a sadness and rage that threatens to consume me whole.
#and I ate some hushpuppies#don’t worry. I’ve got therapy again in uhhhh January#I feel so stupid and selfish complaining about it but I really kinda needed that little 1 hour outlet to vent to someone I trust#but uh…. god it sounds so stupid and trite to say ‘hey I’ve been thinking a lot about killing myself lately’ but uh ‘hey…’#and I don’t want to complain about specifics on here because that’s annoying for people#my birthday is Sunday and my mom is still in the hospital not doing well and I’m just… done with everything#I’m ready to be done#but I’m too full of worry about my family after I’m gone.#and I frustratingly always hold on to things long after they’ve gone rotten. my life included.#maybe if I hold on things will improve. probably. but that’s a future issue and I’m here living now#to me. for me. it feels disingenuous to post online about being self destructive.#so I guess… I’m just upset 🤷🏻♂️ but when am I not?#it was a long. frustrating. terrible day.#it’s whatever#you can ignore this#text

is it weird that, in sys, "i love you" in different languages tend to mean different things
#strongst is russian then english#weakest in latin#but we never say it in chinese#<- has a weirdly uncomfortable connotation for us#russian is the strongest i think because of a little who only speaks it#and because its literally a coping mechanism (hashtag mildly unhealthy hyperfixation)#dunno why latin it's so low down#prolly cause we're bad at it and it takes too much logic#and it makes it feel disingenuous#f: cesario (he/sea)#yet to see where norwegian lands on this list (probably under english)

when do sharks move into baby girl tier 🙏🏼
OOF they were there and then the semester ramped up and I didn’t have time for three teams so they moved into the top of [bites you] but I just need the time to invest myself properly before i can put them back
#over the winter break most likely is the final answer#once finals are over i have more time to pay close attention#and i feel i need to know better/more the players on the team before i can babygirlify any particular team#and i don’t know much abt the sharks guys like I do the flyers or the canucks#so it feels disingenuous to say this is my baby girl but then also know very little about her. so once i feel at ease#with the pertinent knowledge necessary to babygirlify this team then. up they go#thank you for the ask!!!!! 💙💙💙💙#sharks

#i noticed that I'm developing a probably weird little pet peeve#where people see any kind of monetary system in a game and immediately complain about the devs bringing capitalism into it#like i get that we're all traumatized by the modern economy but also i just. aughh money as a concept =/= capitalism#money has existed as a concept for way longer than capitalism has#like i get wanting the perfect socialist communist utopia but like.#maybe a game about reviving a dying community's economy or a game about running a potion shop aren't. the places to look for that?#not just games either but a majority of the media i partake in is games so its just where i see this kinda thing the most#in not even wanting to defend money like of course it would be better if people were just given what they need to live and thrive#like i said its just a weird pet peeve I've developed even i don't fully get why it bugs me so much#kam talks#ive got a similar weird pet peeve re: folks who get mad about 'be normal' and 'normalize x' thinking its about conformity#like no imo normalize means stop making a big deal about something you personally think is weird or unusual#like its directed at the people responding to the thing not at the people doing the thing#and 'be normal about x' is similar but also brings to mind the idea of like. dont dehumanize people by treating them like devils or idols?#yes these can be misused and need to go on the shelf but also interpreting it as pro-conformity just feels disingenuous or misinformed

Abt that unsolicited ‘concrit’ on fanfic thing
My personal opinion is that you should never offer unsolicited critical feedback to people, and you should only offer it publicly at all under specific circumstances. Why?
- Very few people actually know how to give ‘concrit’. They think it just means saying there were surface errors, or they didn’t like how someone was characterized. That’s not concrit. That’s not useful, at all. That’s an amateur review from someone with little to no relevant expertise.
- Especially with fanfiction, you can’t know who you’re speaking to. You can’t moderate tone or intensity of criticism based on their experience and relative skill level. It’s possible that harsh or even moderate critique could make them stop writing forever. Why? What is the point of taking away someone’s joy in that manner? So that the commenter can feel satisfied that they corrected them? That’s cruel and childish.
- Usually fanfiction is published in only one place— maybe three or four, at most. Why should authors be expected to put up with negative criticism in the ONLY place their work is available? Are published authors expected to attach one star Goodreads reviews to their bookjackets?
- If you genuinely wish to help someone improve their writing, you can do so by speaking personally with them and offering your help. The assertion that criticism from a stranger whose opinion they don’t value and whose qualifications are unknown is going to make them better is disingenuous. If someone is sincere in their desire to assist an author in progressing on their writing journey, they should demonstrate that through investing appropriate time and effort. Otherwise, there are many places to complain away from the author’s sight. The only thing accomplished by doing so in front of them is making them feel bad— and if that is someone’s intent, that’s reprehensible.
Anyway. I’ve never gotten useful concrit in my comments or my bookmarks, and I expect I never will.
#fanfiction#comments#the comment discourse#here’s my opinion lol#I don’t expect it will change anytime soon#also I started writing in the era of FFnet where you were just expected to put up with that#so yes I have received it before#and no it was not helpful
